The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is a steering committee member of the Asian Development Bank’s Energy for All (E4All) Partnership. Formally launched in mid-June 2009, the initiative links private and public sectors in the Asia-Pacific region to stimulate the scaling up of access to energy by improving the sharing of information and resources and the flow of financing towards projects using appropriate technologies and a proven business case. Its aim is to provide access for 100 million new users in Asia and the Pacific by 2015.

More than one-quarter of the world’s population lacks access to clean electricity, while about 2.7 billion people are forced to spend disproportionate amounts of their time and resources on traditional biomass for cooking and heating. Where modern energy services are unavailable, people resort to expensive and unsustainable alternatives, which can exacerbate energy insecurity and leave communities more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Increasing access to clean, reliable and affordable energy would reduce poverty and accelerate progress toward the Millennium Development Goals. Providing reliable and efficient clean energy to the rural and urban poor can significantly reduce CO 2 emissions, boost productive and income-generating activities and reduce household expenditures for costly and non-environmentally friendly fuels such as kerosene and diesel. Thanks to recent technological developments, efforts to expand access to clean energy now depend less on technology and more on financing arrangements, backed by a policy environment that is focused on serving the poor. The Sustainable Energy for All initiative, recently launched by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, draws global attention to the importance of energy for sustainable development and poverty alleviation, and calls for specific commitments from the private sector and national governments. The goal is to meet three objectives by 2030: ensuring universal access to modern energy services; doubling the rate of improvement in energy efficiency; and doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. In response, the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) is partnering with the United Nations Development Programme (UN DP) on CleanStart, a programme to help poor households and micro-entrepreneurs access financing from microfinance institutions for low-cost clean energy. Microfinance institutions, which by definition target low-income clients, are well placed to provide the products and services micro-entrepreneurs need to pursue clean energy opportunities. CleanStart promotes appropriate financing arrangements, supports quality assurance measures for end users, and addresses key gaps in energy value chains to contribute to a mutually beneficial cycle of investment and building awareness, as well as create a new market segment with higher returns for participating institutions. CleanStart aims to help lift at least 2.5 million people out of energy poverty by 2017 and to establish a viable concept for a much wider uptake. This publication shares the experience of UNC DF and UN DP in designing the CleanStart approach, one of the latest endeavours of our respective work in Financial Inclusion and Energy Access for All. It is hoped that by jointly leveraging our respective strengths and combining resources, we can help make the goal of universal access to modern energy services for all a reality.

IEA-RETD Report: Cost and financing aspects of community renewable energy projects (FIN-COMMUNITY) Gregory Vaughan-Morris, Ricardo-AEA The key barriers faced by community energy projects are generally well understood, however, there is much less information available about the actual cost and financing implications of these projects. The FIN-COMMUNITY project seeks to identify, document and assess the cost and financial impacts faced by community-owned renewable energy projects compared to commercial renewable energy projects.

Access to electricity has been an essential force in India’s recent growth and progress. If India is to become a true leader on the global stage, such progress needs to continue, particularly for low-income rural communities. Unlike in decades past, however, India can no longer provide electricity to its citizens purely from conventional sources like coal, gas and large hydroelectric dams. It is time to turn the page, and to embrace the new generation of clean technologies. The sheer number of Indian citizens without reliable electricity underscores the magnitude of the challenge. At the same time, the scale of the Indian market presents a tremendous opportunity for innovative solutions. Solar power has made inroads into the Indian market, and can soon become cost competitive with conventional sources. However, a number of technological and business innovations are needed to make it affordable, especially for India’s rural poor. This report analyses the underlying challenges in making solar power a reality in rural This report analyses the underlying challenges in making solar power a reality in rural India and identifies what actions can be taken to overcome them. In doing so, it lays a strong foundation for helping India achieve universal electrification. It also introduces a roadmap for helping India become a true global leader in clean energy, not just for itself, but also for the rest of the developing world.
